India's NKC recommends OA for publicly-funded research The Working Group on Libraries for India's National Knowledge Commission has released its December 7, 2006, letter to the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh. (Thanks to Subbiah Arunachalam, a member of the Working Group.) The group recommends OA in Section 8:
In a separate December 21 letter to the Prime Minister, the NKC recommends a National Knowledge Network for India. This would essentially bridge the digital divide for the country's research institutions and make any OA policy more effective. Comment. Kudos to Subbiah Arunachalam and the rest of the Working Group on Libraries and NKC. I hope that Prime Minister Singh will quickly approve these practical and much-needed recommendations. |
